RIP, O-sensei Keiko Fukuda, judo's highest ranked woman


Recommended Posts

Rest in peace, Fukuda Sensei, the last surviving student of judo founder Jigoro Kano. Kano sent Fukuda to the USA in 1966 to help spread the art. In 2011, she became the only woman awarded judo's highest rank, 10th dan. She passed on Febuary 9, 2013, at the age of 99.
